lil Once made a post asking, "When have you felt the most free." My comment in there was about when I quit a job, not unlike the author of this post quitting their first job in the restaurant industry. If I didn't have kids and a mortgage, I'd quit the job I have now. For sure.Look, it wasn’t all bad. I had a supportive boss and smart colleagues and the freedom to work on truly excellent books; but over time I realized that the business of publishing wasn’t perfectly conducive to the business of “me remaining sane.”
-This bit rang pretty true to me. I am not happy in my career right now. Not at all. But by most peoples standards, I have a pretty kick ass job. It's hard to allow myself the permission to be unsatisfied with it given that I have so many of the perks others desire.
